ARMORED HOSE.

i Patented July 2e, rais.

Application filed January 2*?, 1910, Serial No. 540,382. Renewed December 11, 1912. Serial No. 738,234.

To all wh-0m, t may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. EYNoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of'Cuyahoga and State of O'hio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Armored Hose,

rof Which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in armored-hose, and more particularly,to reinforced high pressure hose for use as airhose used in connection with pneumatically operated tools, or the ai-r-bra'ke systems vof railroad trains, as well as for use as high pressure Waterl1ose employed by fire-departments and the Water-Work systems of municipalities.

The primary object of the invention. is to provide a generally improved armored-hose, for the purposes above mentioned, adapted to carry fluid under very high pressure, and at the same time, provide'an armored-hose of great flexibility and elasticitywhich will be to a minimum extent affected by the deteriorating action of the elements while in use. y

. The chain-mesh or mail-armor used as a reinforcing and strengthening element is of very fine mesh and is not in any way to be confounded or confused with such metallic armor fabric as woven Wire or connected j strips orplates of metal heretoforeV used asv an armor or reinforcing element in hose of this character. The specific construction ofl be4 made of copper since copper stretches considerably before breaking.

With the above mentioned ends in view,Mv

the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and combinationof parts,

trates a section of armored-hose having 'theA successive layers or jackets removed at the ends so as to exposethe next adjacent layer.

' Fig. 2, a similar view illustrating a modified form and method of i applying the chain-mesh armor fabric. 'Fig. 3, a crosssectional view of the improved armoredlio-se. Fig. 4, a greatly enlarged View of a section of theiimproved chainmesh armor fabric.

Similar numerals of reference designate like parts throughout all the figures of the drawings.

The improved armored-hose comprises inner tube of rubber 1, or other suitable compound adapted to resistthe action of deleterious substances,I said interior tube being preferably. surrounded by a reinforcingeleinent such as a superposed'tube or layer. of cotton duck 2, or similar fibrous material. The reinforcing element or layer of duck is preferably surrounded by a superrounding the tubular reinforcing duck 2.

The layer or ply. of chain-mesh 4, may-be incorporated and vulcanized in the tubular rubber body in any suitable and convenient manner and may be Woven in the form 'of a seamless tubular body as indicated in Fig. 1, or in the form of a strip of material spirally or helically Wound as indicated in Fig. 2, of the drawings. l K

The tubular layer of@ chain-mesh armor is preferably surrounded by a coveringv 5, of.

substantial thickness, of a compound of rubber adapted t-o withstand rough usage 'and .exposure to the elements.

From the foregoing descriptidn, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and advantages of my invention will be readily understood.

Having thus described my invention, what I.: claim and .desireto secure by Letters Patent is,-

1. An armored hose, comprising a tubular rubber body, and tubular chain-mesh incor-' porated and vulcanized therein ,and substantially spaced from the inner and outer surfaces thereof.

2. 'An armored hose, comprising -an interior tube of rubber, a superposed layer of duck, a layer of rubber superposed on said layer of duck, a layer of chain-mesh vulcanized in said. layer of rubber and inclosing said layer of duck, and a covering of rubber.

3; An armored hose,` comprising a tubular e the usual tubular body consisting-of an posed layer of rubber' 3, and as a means for embedded and Vvulcanized therein, and al strip of chain-mesh helically wound and rubber body provided with a tubular layer of chainmesh made up of a strip of helically Wound chain-mesh having its meshes incorporated and vulcanized therein and substantially spaced from the inner and vulcanized in said rubberbodyvforming a tubular chain-mesh armor surrounding said tubular layer of cotton duck and substantially spaced from the outer surface of said tubular rubber body. c

In testimony whereof I have axed my signature, in` presenceof tWo Witnesses.
